Pocket Universe’s mission is to safeguard crypto users with a lightweight browser extension that simulates transactions before signing, detects scams, wallet-drainers and malicious activity, and issues real-time warnings. The tool already protects over 200,000 wallets and helps secure billions in assets across DeFi protocols. 

Kerberus, a rapidly expanding Web3 security company, acquired Pocket Universe to integrate its technology into Kerberus’s flagship product, Sentinel3. The combined entity will aim to deliver a “crypto antivirus” spanning EVM chains and Solana, redefining how users and institutions protect assets in the digital-asset economy.

Areta acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Pocket Universe, guiding the company through the sale process, identifying strategic acquirers, and facilitating discussions in a competitive transaction that advances Web3 security infrastructure.
